    Refunding debentures are not State debt, may use the same funds as other debentures, and the department may redirect reserve funds for them. The revenue pledge for veterans’ contracts cannot be reduced or affected by issuing these refunding debentures.

Miscellaneous [1006.1 - 1006.16] ( Article 7 added by Stats. 1970, Ch. 1488. ) ## 1006.11. This chapter shall be liberally construed to carry out the objects and purposes and the declared public policy of the State of California as in this chapter set forth. The facts with which the Legislature is fully cognizant are: The State of California is committed to aid and assist veterans under the Veterans’ Farm and Home Purchase Act of 1974. Increasing numbers of servicemen who served in Vietnam are being discharged and need home loans. The Cal-Vet loan program must be updated to provide comparable benefits to those provided veterans of World War II and the Korean Conflict. Conditions in the money market render it impracticable for the State of California in conformity with its other commitments to continue to raise funds for veterans’ aid through the issuance and sale of general obligation bonds of the state. There is now in the Department of Veterans Affairs a backlog of applications which cannot be processed because funds are inadequate to meet the demand for loans. This act provides another method whereby the State of California will be able to raise the necessary funds for the aid and assistance of veterans through the issuance of revenue debentures payable exclusively from the proceeds of contracts of sale of properties acquired by the department from veterans’ revenue debenture proceeds and resold to veterans without imposing any liability upon the State of California and without creating any debt or liability of the State of California. The urgent requirements of veterans and the necessity of raising funds immediately for their aid and assistance render it essential that this law be adopted. (Amended by Stats. 1976, Ch. 663.)

Miscellaneous [1006.1 - 1006.16] ( Article 7 added by Stats. 1970, Ch. 1488. ) ## 1006.15. The purchaser shall make an initial payment of at least 10 percent of the selling price of the property, in case of a farm, and 5 percent in the case of a home. The department may waive the initial payment in any case where the value of the property as determined by the department appraisal shall be equal to the amount to be paid by the department plus at least 10 percent in the case of a farm, and 5 percent in the case of a home. The balance of the purchase price may be amortized over a period fixed by the department, not exceeding 40 years, together with interest thereon at the rate as determined by the department for such amortization purposes. The department shall establish the actual interest rate to be paid. To this end the department, by two-thirds vote of the California Veterans Board, with the approval of the Veterans’ Debenture Finance Committee established by Section 1000.3 of this code, is empowered to establish a uniform rate of interest payable upon the amount remaining unpaid under all pledged veterans’ purchase contracts then or thereafter executed. The California Veterans Board and the Veterans’ Debenture Finance Committee shall periodically at least once each year make a finding as to the rate of interest to be charged, taking into consideration the requirements of the Veterans’ Debenture Revenue Fund created by this chapter, but subject to any covenant contained in any resolution of issuance adopted in accordance with this chapter pursuant to which debentures are at the time outstanding. Subject to any such covenant, the department may raise or lower the rate of interest payable under such contracts for any given period as many times and as frequently as it deems to be for the best interests of the department, if in so doing its action is made applicable alike to any and all pledged contract holders and 30 days’ advance notice is given of the time when the new rate of interest is to become effective. Upon demand of the Veterans’ Debenture Finance Committee, given as provided in any resolution of issuance adopted pursuant to this chapter, the department shall increase the rate of interest to be charged upon the amount remaining unpaid upon all pledged veterans’ purchase contracts then in existence. A change in the interest rate may affect the total amount of any installment payment. The purchaser on any installment date may pay any or all installments still remaining unpaid. Subject to any covenant contained in any resolution of issuance adopted in accordance with this chapter, and pursuant to which debentures are at the time outstanding, the department may, in any individual case, for good cause postpone from time to time, upon such terms as the department deems proper, the payment of the whole or any part of any installment of the purchase price or interest thereon. This section is intended to be applicable to all lands acquired from the proceeds of the sale of debentures issued hereunder and to the resale and disposition of such lands to the purchasers thereof and no other provision of law shall be applicable to the purchase or resale of such lands except only as in this act provided.

    ## Military and Veterans Code - MVC ## DIVISION 4. VETERANS' AID AND WELFARE [690 - 1008.5] ( Division 4 enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 389. ) ## CHAPTER 8. Veteran Farmers or Ranchers [1008 - 1008.5] ( Chapter 8 added by Stats. 2017, Ch. 188, Sec. 1. ) ## 1008. The Legislature finds and declares the following: (a) Agriculture is a major industry in California, with 81,700 farms and ranches. California agriculture is nearly a thirty-seven-billion-five-hundred-million-dollar ($37,500,000,000) industry that generates one hundred billion dollars ($100,000,000,000) in related economic activity. (b) In 2010, the United States Department of Agriculture Secretary cited that the aging of principal farm operators across the nation is rising. The USDA Census of Agriculture, 2012 Census Highlights, finds that the average age of America’s principal farm operators is 58.3 years of age and one-third are 65 years or older. (c) An 8-percent national decrease in the number of farmers and ranchers is expected to occur between the years 2008 and 2018. (d) Recognizing the growth of America’s food production needs, and low proportions of beginning farmers and ranchers nationwide, the USDA Secretary identified America’s returning military veterans as a promising population to enter careers as farmers and ranchers. The 2014 United States Farm Bill contains various landmark incentives to assist military veterans and disadvantaged populations to become farmers and ranchers. (e) In November 2014, the USDA announced the designation of the nation’s first USDA Military Veterans Agricultural Liaison to coordinate information, resources, and support for active duty military and veterans interested in entering careers as farmers and ranchers. (f) The 2014 United States Farm Bill, also known as the Agricultural Act of 2014, contained various incentives designed to assist the nation’s returning military veterans to acquire skills needed to start and manage a farm. Incentives include, but are not limited to, farm loans and microloans, education and training and technical assistance, including training in natural resource conservation techniques and practices. (g) Eight percent of the nation’s homeless population are military veterans and 45 percent of homeless veterans are African American or Latino, while less than 10 percent are women. (h) More than six million veterans reside in rural America and approximately two million veterans are residents of California. (i) California veterans use fewer benefits than their peers at the national level. While all veterans report only partial awareness of benefits for which they are eligible, some states have more advanced outreach programs to connect veterans to these available resources. (j) The Legislature recognizes the opportunities to the state through landmark funding contained in the 2014 United States Farm Bill and subsequent United States Farm bills to assist military veterans in entering careers as farmers and ranchers. (k) The Legislature acknowledges opportunities offered through a state and federal partnership to strengthen and enhance these resources to benefit California’s veterans and historically underserved populations.

(b) Information posted by the Department of Food and Agriculture pursuant to subdivision (a) shall include, but is not limited to, information on all of the following: (1) The California Department of Food and Agriculture’s Healthy Soils Initiative. (2) The 2014 United States Agricultural Act and subsequent agricultural acts. (3) Farm loans offered through the United States Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency.

Veterans’ Home of California [1010 - 1052] ( Chapter 1 enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 389. ) ## 1035.05. (a) (1) All moneys and other personal property of any member other than that described in Section 1035 shall, upon the death of the member, first be paid to the administrator for payment of funeral expenses or any obligation owed to any home remaining unpaid after the disbursement required by Section 1035 is completed; and second, in the absence of an heir or heirs or a will, pass and descend to and become the property of the state for credit to the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund. If the total value of that property in the state over and above any amounts due the veteran for services in the Armed Forces of the United States or from any other employment does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), the home may, without procuring letters of administration, collect any money due the decedent, receive the property of the decedent, and have any evidences of interest, indebtedness, or right transferred to it upon furnishing the person, representative, corporation, official, or body owning the money, having custody of the property, or acting as registrar or transfer agent of the evidence of that interest, indebtedness, or right, with an affidavit showing the right of the home to receive the money or property or to have the evidences transferred. The receipt of the home shall constitute sufficient acquittance for any payment of money or delivery of property made pursuant to this section and shall fully discharge that person, representative, corporation, officer, or body from any further liability with reference thereto, without the necessity of inquiring into the truth of any of the facts stated in the affidavit. However, that payment or transfer does not preclude administration when necessary to enforce payment of the decedent’s debts, and the administrator may, upon proof determined to be sufficient, pay the debts directly and without administration.

If the total value of that property in the State of California over and above any amounts due the veteran for services in the Armed Forces of the United States or from any other employment does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000), the home may, without procuring letters of administration or awaiting probate of any will, collect any money due the decedent, receive the property of the decedent and have any evidences of interest, indebtedness, or right transferred to it upon furnishing the person, representative, corporation, official, or body owning the money, having custody of that property, or acting as registrar or transfer agent of the evidence of that interest, indebtedness, or right, with an affidavit showing the right of the home to receive that money or property or to have those evidences transferred.

The administrator of the home shall inform each member in writing at the time of admission of the right to complain to the administrator about home accommodations and services. A notice of the right to complain shall be posted in the home. The administrator shall also inform each member of the right to complain to the board or to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. Each member of a home shall be encouraged and assisted, throughout the period of stay in the home, to understand and exercise the rights of freedom of expression and assembly as a member and as a citizen. To this end, the member may voice grievances and recommend changes in policies and services to home staff, other members, and outside representatives of the member’s choice, free from restraint, interference, coercion, discrimination, or reprisal, including retaliatory eviction. (b) An administrator may not retaliate against any member who exercises the right to voice grievances by evicting the member. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that any eviction within 45 days of the exercise by a member of the right to voice grievances is retaliatory. This presumption does not apply in favor of a member who has failed to pay maintenance fees unless the member pays the overdue fees. (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 28, Sec. 81.

(b) For the purposes of this chapter, a home is a corporation and, acting through an officer designated by the administrator, may act as guardian or conservator of estates, assignee, receiver, depositary, or trustee under appointment of any court or by authority of any law of this state and may transact business in that capacity in the same manner as an individual, and for this purpose may sue and be sued in any court of this state.

Veterans’ Home of California [1010 - 1052] ( Chapter 1 enacted by Stats. 1935, Ch. 389. ) ## 1047. (a) (1) The Veterans’ Home Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Special Fund (MWR Fund) is hereby created in the State Treasury. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, all funds deposited in the MWR Fund as authorized by this section shall be continuously appropriated to the department, without regard to fiscal year. All references in this chapter to the “Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund” or “MWR Fund” are deemed to refer to the fund created by this paragraph. (2) The department shall distribute moneys in the MWR Fund to the homes to provide for the general welfare of the members of the homes. (3) For the purposes of this subdivision, providing for the general welfare of the members of a home includes, but is not limited to, operating a canteen, base exchange, hobby shop, theater, library, or band, and payment for newspapers, chapel expenses, entertainment expenses, sports activities, celebrations, or any other function or activity that is related to the morale, welfare, and recreation of the residents that would not otherwise be paid for by the General Fund. (4) The administrator of a home shall deposit all moneys maintained by the administrator in a Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Fund pursuant to this section as it read on January 1, 2015, into the Veterans’ Home Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Special Fund created by paragraph (1). (5) All future moneys collected as a result of unreimbursed costs of care determinations are special state funds and shall be deposited in the MWR Fund. (6) Each home shall establish an MWR Advisory Committee to provide ongoing guidance for the MWR Fund processes, including, but not limited to, budgeting, contracts, investments, expenditures, and revenues. The committee shall be comprised of the administrator or a representative and representatives of the Veterans’ Home Allied Council or resident council. (7) On or before July 1, 2018, the department, in consultation with the MWR Advisory Committee in each home, the Veterans’ Home Allied Council, or the resident council at each home, shall adopt regulations that carry out the intent of this section, including, but not limited to, the administration of the MWR Fund and Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Operating Funds (MWRO Funds), the process by which the homes submit annual budgets and receive allocations, the process by which the secretary shall review and act upon the allocation requests and requests for augmentation of those allocations. (8) Moneys deposited in the MWR Fund are exempt from the requirements of Article 2 (commencing with Section 11270) of Chapter 3 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (b) (1) The department shall annually determine the amount for disbursement from the MWR Fund to the homes. This amount shall be disbursed proportionally by each home’s relative share of the total population of the entire veterans’ home system. All annual allocation requests and annual allocations, as well as any augmentations to those allocations, shall be made known to the members of the homes. In making allocation decisions, the department shall consider whether there are economies of scale or other savings which may be realized by aggregating home requests or otherwise while still meeting the intent of the homes’ requests. (2) The secretary, in consultation with the administrator of the affected home, may augment the allocation from the MWR Fund to any veterans’ home after making a determination that this action is appropriate on the basis of factors including, but not limited to, the home’s unique age, size, population, and historical significance. (c) Moneys in the MWR Fund shall not be expended for the following: (1) A medical treatment or medical care of a member of a home. (2) The maintenance or major capital improvement of the physical plant of a home. (3) Any function, operation, or activity that is not directly related to the morale, welfare, or recreation of the members of the home. (d) Appropriations from the General Fund for the purposes described in paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) may not be reduced for the purpose of, or to have the effect of, requiring increased expenditures from the MWR Fund for those described purposes. (e) The department shall adopt, use, and require the homes to use uniform accounting procedures for the MWR Fund and the MWRO Funds subject to the department’s oversight and audit as needed. The department shall prepare an itemized report that is organized by category, including sufficient detail to allow legislative oversight, and accounts for all expenditures from, and all funds deposited into, the MWR Fund and the MWRO Funds for the previous fiscal year. The department shall submit the report on or before December 31, 2018, and annually on or before August 20 thereafter, to the following: (1) The Department of Finance. (2) The fiscal committees of the Assembly and Senate. (3) The committees of the Assembly and the Senate that have subject matter jurisdiction over veterans’ affairs. (4) The Veterans’ Home Allied Council or the resident council of each home. (5) The administrator of each home.

(g) The department may transfer funds from the MWR Fund to the Surplus Money Investment Fund for investment pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 16470) of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code or may hire a third-party investment broker to invest moneys from the MWR Fund consistent with Section 16480.2 of the Government Code and any regulations regarding selecting prudent, approved investment types. The amount invested and the accrued interest or earnings shall be credited to the MWR Fund for allocation by the department. (h) The administrator of a home may enter into an agreement with the Veterans’ Home Allied Council that authorizes the council to operate facilities and engage in activities that are authorized by subdivision (b). The agreement shall be in the form and manner specified by the administrator and in conformity with applicable California law and regulations, including, but not limited to, the state procurement and contracting process.

(a) Every district may do all of the following: (1) Provide and maintain memorial halls, assembly halls, buildings, or meeting places, together with suitable indoor and outdoor park and recreation facilities, including swimming pools, picnic areas, and playgrounds, for the use of persons or organizations other than veterans, pursuant to paragraphs (8) and (9), and veteran soldiers, sailors, and marines who have honorably served the United States in any wars or campaigns recognized by law for the purposes of Section 3 of Article XIII of the California Constitution, or for the use of patriotic, fraternal, or benevolent associations of those persons. However, no district shall provide and maintain indoor and outdoor park and recreation facilities, including swimming pools, picnic areas, and playgrounds, unless these projects have been approved by a majority of the voters at either the general district election or at a special election called for that purpose. The question of whether the district shall provide and maintain indoor and outdoor park and recreation facilities may be submitted to the registered voters of the district by the board on its own motion and shall be submitted by the board upon petition signed by 8 percent of the registered voters of the district, at either the general district election or at a special election called for that purpose. If submitted at a special election, the election shall be called, conducted, governed, and regulated in the same manner as the general district election. All plans for indoor and outdoor park and recreation facilities, including swimming pools, picnic areas, and playgrounds, shall be approved initially by the board of supervisors. (2) Purchase, receive by donation, condemn, lease, or acquire real or personal property necessary or convenient for the construction or maintenance of halls, buildings, meeting places, and facilities, and improve, preserve, manage, and control these facilities. (3) Purchase, construct, lease, build, furnish, or repair halls, buildings, meeting places, and facilities upon sites owned or leased by the district or made available to the district, and provide custodians, employees, attendants, and supplies for the proper maintenance, care, and management of those halls, buildings, meeting places, and facilities. (4) Furnish sites for halls, buildings, meeting places, or facilities, to be built either by the district or by or for patriotic, fraternal, or benevolent associations of veterans, if the funds for these sites are supplied by the district or from other sources. (5) Enter into agreements with county, municipal, school, park, or other public authorities or agencies conveying, leasing, or making available to the district, either gratuitously or for compensation, sites upon public land for the construction, maintenance, and management by the district of assembly or memorial halls, buildings, meeting places, or facilities, and construct and maintain on those sites halls, buildings, meeting places, or facilities. (6) Sell or lease any district property to the highest responsible bidder, as determined by the board, except as provided by Section 1191.3. The board shall, prior to any sale, make a call for bids and advertise that call pursuant to Section 6062 of the Government Code in a newspaper of general circulation in the district, inviting sealed bids for the sale or lease of the property. The board may either accept the highest responsible bid or reject all bids. The board may require the successful bidder to file with the board good and sufficient undertaking to be approved by the board to insure faithful performance of the contract of sale or lease. No sale or lease shall be transacted, however, if a petition has been filed with the board requesting it not to enter into the sale or lease of the property. The petition shall have affixed to it, as petitioners, the signatures, indicating place of residence and place of signing, of the registered voters of the district in a number equal to at least 10 percent of the votes cast in the district at the last preceding general election held in the state. If the petition meets these requirements, as determined by the records of the county elections official for the county or counties in which the district is situated, the board either shall not convey the property or shall submit the matter to the registered voters of the district to be voted upon at the next primary or general election, or at a special election called for the purpose of ratifying or rejecting the action of the district to sell or lease the property. (7) Sell or lease any district property to any political subdivision, or portion thereof, in which the district is situated for purposes of roads, streets, or highways, or for the improvement of roads, streets, or highways, without regard to the highest responsible bidder but otherwise meeting the petition requirements of paragraph (6). (8) Adopt, from time to time, reasonable rules and regulations for the use of halls, buildings, meeting places, and facilities by veterans or by organizations of veterans, and to allow the halls, buildings, meeting places, and facilities to be used for lawful purposes consistent with the objects of this section by persons or organizations other than veterans either free of charge or for stated compensation to aid in defraying the cost of maintenance of the facilities, if that use will not unduly interfere with the reasonable use of the facilities by veterans’ associations. (9) Enter into a joint powers agreement for recreational or senior citizens’ services within the district. (b) In conformance with this section, a district may provide recreational facilities or services at any location within the district regardless of the location of district-owned facilities. A district may not increase its tax levy for the purpose of providing recreational services for persons other than veterans unless that increase is first approved by a majority of the registered voters of the district who vote upon the proposal. (c) (1) A district may provide funding to providers of supportive services that improve the quality of life for veterans and their families. Those supportive services may include, but are not limited to, behavioral health services, counseling, social services, case management, affordable housing, and employment training and placement. (2) A district may not use existing bond moneys for the purposes described in paragraph (1), unless either of the following circumstances apply: (A) The voters agree to restructure existing bond moneys to authorize a district to additionally use those moneys for the purposes described in paragraph (1). (B) The existing bond moneys are currently authorized to be used for the purposes described in paragraph (1). (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 197, Sec. 1. (AB 671) Effective January 1, 2018.)
